-I started coding in the mid-70's hacking my ideas into programmable calculators (SR-52, SR-56and a SC/MP based microprocessor system, got addicted and never stopped since then. Just the hardware is different today. +
- +
-After developing from microprocessor system to networks and internet, I got bored by all those gigahertzs and terabytes and more and more my way leads me back to smaller systems like microcontrollers and embedded systems. +

-That's all about me. +

 Currently my main target is getting 802.11s into my brain. Currently my main target is getting 802.11s into my brain.
-  - I want a closed private mesh at home. +  * Build a closed private mesh at home. 
-  - And I want to find some peers to experiment with two flavours of an open mesh: +  * Currently using only targeting OpenWrt/LEDE. Later the radius shall be extended to include at least De(bi|vu)an systems too. 
-    A pure local city mesh without internet. Think of it as the IP variant of CB communication. +  * Find some dirt cheap hardware helping to get neighbours connected. E.g. a USB dongle sized system bridging/routing the mesh by USB networking or USB serial PPP to a user's PC. 
-    A mesh to distribute the internet.+  * Find some peers to experiment with two flavours of an open mesh:

 +==== See ==== 
 +  * https://forum.lede-project.org/t/starting-with-mesh-networks/5692 
 + 
 +==== Status ==== 
 +  * Installed ''wpad-mini'' plus ''authsae'' on Fujitsu Siemens Futro S200 family thin clients and F2FS extrooted TL-WR703Ns and they communicate. 
 +  * They need the right password to join the mesh, so it looks like AuthSAE works. 
 +  * [[https://forum.lede-project.org/t/starting-with-mesh-networks/5692/46?u=yeti|Others in the thread mentioned above report success using `wpad-mesh` only.]] So far I had no luck reproducing this in my test setups. 
 + 
 +==== TODO ==== 
 +  * Find a working ''wpad-mesh'' to drop ''authsae''
 +  * Is there meshy infrastructure somewhere?\\ Distributed DNS, DHCP? 
 +      * DNS —▶ https://forum.lede-project.org/t/kadnode-a-decentralized-dns-system/11523 
 +  * Is there a way to scan for mesh IDs (SSIDs)? 
 +  * Which other OSes support... 
 +    * ..."open" 802.11s meshs? 
 +    * ..."closed" 802.11s meshs?
